Beginning in October 2014, “Class I renewable energy systems” used for commercial and/or industrial purposes are allowed a property tax exemption. To qualify for this exemption, an assessor or board of assessors must file an application before November 1st in the applicable assessment year.
This is an exemption from sales and use tax for certain solar thermal and geothermal technologies. In a separate section from these renewables, it is stated that ice storage systems for cooling only are also exempt from sales and use tax.
This program provides nonrefundable income tax credits to incentivize the use of solar energy devices in commercial, industrial, and other non-residential applications in Arizona, generally equal to 10% of the installation costs. Arizona Revised Statute 41-1510.01 lays out that solar thermal, solar PV, energy storage
Arizona does not tax energy efficiency components, renewable energy equipment, and combined heat and power systems as property. Arizona Revised Statute 42-11054, which details this exemption, specifies that renewable energy equipment includes equipment used to produce energy primarily for on-site consumption from renewable resources, including

This is a property tax exclusion for the installation of active solar energy systems. This differs from an exemption in that the addition of the system’s value to that of the real property is never assessed in the first place. The solar energy system can
While this is a general tax exemption for properties that deal with electric power, the inclusion of “storage of electric power” indicates that thermal storage systems that generate heat from electricity could also receive the exemption.
This is a sales and use tax exemption for various processes (e.g., advanced manufacturing, advanced transportation). Of particular interest is “alternative sources”, which broadly include technologies used for renewable electrical generation facilities, distributed generation, energy storage technologies, and other technologies that reduce the need for
